Rally for Freedom of Assembly

In solidarity with «Strategy-31»

Everyone who wishes to support the Russian civic movement for the Freedom of Assembly, enshrined in Article-31 of the Russian Constitution, is invited to the rally which is going to be held at 6pm on Thursday, March 31st, opposite the Russian Consulate in Bayswater Road.

It will soon be two years since men and women in Russia started trying to use their constitutional right at least on the 31st day of the month, but each time they have been beaten up, dragged to police buses, detained, fined and arrested. This has been happening on Triumfalnaya Square in Moscow, near Gostiny Dvor in St. Petersburg and at numerous other places in Russian cities and towns. This is going to happen again in Russia on March 31st as well.

Let us support those who fight for their rights inside their own country!

Let us attract the attention of people in Britain to what is happening in Russia!

Let us show the Russian authorities that the protest movement against their actions is spreading all over the world!

Let us gather at 6 pm on March 31st in front of the Russian Consulate!
